Ok , this is what happened, I bought a grapple on line and when it got here it wasn't what they said it was. They said it was made out of 1/2" T-1 steel . The weight of it is 600lbs.
Well, when it showed up it was made out of 3/8" steel, if it's T-1 I have no idea .
I called them up and asked about it , they said it was a mistake in the add and that they felt bad about it and would return $75 . That they don't make it in 1/2" only 3/8" .
The thing is I like the way it's put together even though it still is 600lbs. What do you think about 3/8" instead of 1/2" I only have the kubota L3240 with the 724 loader so it's not really that big of a tractor . I spent $1,375 for it and can't spend anymore than that on one .
So would you return it or not ? I don't want something I'm going to be bending up all the time. I've never used one but only once and wouldn't know if it would hold up. thanks!

Re: grapple not what they said !

Can you post pics or provide a link? How it's put together is just as important as the quality and size of the material.

As for the refund, I would be very nervous about the rest of it if they lied about something that significant.

Return it for a refund and buy a Wildkat. We're all happy with ours and it costs a heck of a lot less.

Agree with Eddie on this, IF you can get your money back, run.

I would guess the are in Memphis, TN...
1/2" plate is pretty thick. Are the other grapples made of 1/2" plate? That would be a monster.

Missed that. I went to the 'about us' link and nothing on that page gave a location. One would think that would be the place to put it.

Most of the ones I've been looking at are 1/2".
What I would like to know is how one made out of 3/8" holds up? anyone?
It really does look like it was well built.
